Materials
- 5 ½ c water
- ½ c tapioca pearls medium sized WuFuYuan brand preferred
- 1 c brown sugar
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan make sure to boil water over a high temperature. (DO NOT add the boba till after the water has reached a boil.) The boba package recommends slow addition of the boba to boiling water while stirring to avoid sticking.
- When the boba has risen up to the surface, lower the heat to medium, then close the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- After 2 minutes, test an egg to determine the degree of doneness. Continue cooking until the texture gets to the desired level of doneness. It will keep cooking just a little bit longer in the subsequent steps.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl mix brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of hot water (taken from the boba's pot) together to create the sugar syrup.
- The rest of the water and then transfer the boba pearls directly into a containers for sugar syrup. Cover for ten minutes. The result will be a chewy sweet Boba. The boba should be kept in the simple syrup until you can assemble it. Also, you will use the syrup that you made from this recipe to sweeten your tea.
